Ministries of FBC of Union

Sunday School

Every Sunday morning from 9:15am-10:15am we welcome you to come and participate in an hour of Bible Study and practical application of God’s Word to our daily lives. You will be challenged to a greater commitment in your relationship with Jesus Christ as we study God’s Word together. You will build stronger relationships through our small group time as we seek to serve and minister to one another. Bible Study is vital to the spiritual growth of the Christian and in reaching the lost. The Word of God is how God communicates Himself and His will to man. It is in God’s Word that we find man’s greatest need, to be saved from the penalty of sin and be reconciled to God through repentance and faith alone in the substitutionary sacrifice for our sin by His Son, Jesus Christ. As we rightly interpret and apply God’s Word to our lives we will grow more into the image of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Come and enjoy the rich blessings of studying God’s Word and allow Him to change and transform your life. (Classes available for all age groups)

Sunday Morning Worship Service

Every Sunday from 10:30am-12:00pm we gather together to worship the Lord through God-centered and Biblically based music and preaching. This is a time where we come in humility before God and offer our sacrifices of praise and submission to the practical instruction from His Word. Our worship service consists of a blend of contemporary and traditional music. We welcome you to come and join in this time of exalting our great God and Savior.

Sunday Evening Worship Service

Every Sunday Evening from 6:00pm-7:00pm we have a time of worship and equipping for believers to do the work of the ministry. This is a time in which believers will be trained in evangelism, discipleship, and other areas of service to be effective ministers for our Lord and Savior. Every Born-again believer is in full time ministry. This time is to help equip the saints to be faithful in their service to our Lord and Savior.

Missions

The Lord has called all believers to go into all the world and preach the gospel and make disciples. We seek to emphasize the importance of missions in our local church and in all the world. We provide all kinds of missions opportunities to reach the lost in our community, throughout our country and around the world. We then seek to disciple new believers to spiritual maturity through one to one or small group discipleship. We support missions through giving to the Southern Baptist Cooperative Program and through supporting missionaries personally through financial giving, prayer and physical support. We seek to inform and motivate believers to get more involved in fulfilling Our Lord’s great commission.

AWANA

Awana is an acrostic which stands for “Approved Workman Are Not Ashamed” which is taken from II Timothy 2:15. It is a youth club designed for 3 year olds through 6th grade. Awana meets on a weekly basis from September thru April on Wednesday evenings from 6:15-8:00 p.m. In the Awana club the youth learn the importance of loving, learning, memorizing, and obeying God and His Word.
